Saving Money at Disney World

Walt Disney World is a great place to visit, but can be very expensive. Luckily there are ways to make your Disney trip much more affordable. Making a few small cut backs or changes in your vacation can save you a large sum of money.


Where are you staying?

This can greatly affect the cost of your trip. Walt Disney World offers many different resorts to stay in, with each of them falling in a different price range. Some of the rooms at Disney World can cost much more than one thousand dollars a night. While some will cost less than a hundred. They also have many others in between. So depending on where you are financially, it is good to research each hotel. While you might not want the least expensive room, the most expensive is usually too much for many. Disney offers a choice of value, moderate, or deluxe hotels. It might be a good idea to search the internet for pictures and videos of each accommodation. This way you can be positive which resort you would like to stay at on your budget.


Planning Ahead

If you are flying to Walt Disney World it is very important to plan ahead to avoid paying too much for airfare. Even for a family of four airfare can be very expensive. So make sure that you are looking for a deal daily, months prior to your trip. Just finding a good deal on the internet can save you a tremendous amount of money. Also, there are many websites that are dedicated to getting you good prices on your next flight. So before going to the first airline company and booking, spend a little time on the internet looking. Just a few extra minutes browsing could be the difference inbetween a 200 dollar plane ticket and a 800 dollar plane ticket.


Vacation Packages

This can be another great way to save money with Disney. Walt Disney World is always running some kind of special, you just need to find out what it is. For a short period of time they were offering a free dining plan if you paid for your resort stay and tickets. A Disney dining plan can be used for your food each day. So basically if you paid for those two things, Disney would give you free food. For a first time Disney World visitor, that is a very big deal. The costs of restaurants can sometimes be outrageous. This way instead of having to budget and eat fast food burgers, you can truly enjoy your vacation to the fullest for free!


Disney Vacation Club

If you love vacation, and travel frequently throughout the year, it would be a good idea to look into the Disney Vacation Club. The Disney Vacation Club is different from what most people consider a timeshare. With the DVC you accumulate points and can visit whenever you like. Also, this does not mean that you must use your points at the Walt Disney World Resort. There are places all over the world that the points can be used. For example, Hawaii and Colorado. Even though there is not a Disney theme park there, you are still able to use your points to travel and go to other places. That is what makes the Disney Vacation Club so special. They are constantly adding new locations that you can travel to. After awhile, the money you have paid will end up paying for itself. I would only recommend the Disney Vacation Club if you are going to be traveling more than twice a year. If you do not take vacations more than once or twice a year it may not be worth it.
